Where Can You Park a Tiny House UK?? | Vlogust ep.10

The question everyone wants answered! Where can you park a tiny house in the UK?

Well the simple answer is you can park it in many places but you can't live in it.

A tiny house in the UK is classified as a caravan so unless you have permission to park it somewhere then to be honest the only place is on a campsite with all the other caravans.

This isn't all bad news as camp sites are great! You just need to find one that will let you stay long term. Your dreams of living in a tiny house on your own land in the hills and having some chickens is, well, at the moment not going to happen.

Hopefully things change but for now at least if you want to live in a tiny house in the UK, a campsite is the way to go. Hope this helps!

Governments and banks make it difficult to not be able to live in a house or apartment on purpose. They don't want people realising they don't have to work their ass off their entire life only to give most of their wages away to a landlord or bank. If too many people did it then you have less people working, then the economy suffers, it's much safer to keep people tied into a system wanting and buying stuff they don't really need.

I always find the uk rules on tiny living so disappointing. We have so much land not being used, only waiting for big companies to buy it to make more money and use up more land and resources etc! It’s annoying for us folk who just want to tuck ourselves away in the woods and live as off grid as possible! Thanks for sharing your story!

Thank you!!!! So so refreshing to finally find a tiny home video from a real person. So so many have the money to buy land, or those rich relatives you mention. Thank you for showing how the rest of us could do it, especially in the Uk which is so restrictive n where we can actually legally live

Can't a bunch of people get together, start a cooperative, buy land and assign each person tiny plots for people to put their TH on? Start a caravan park as a cooperative?

i'm 65 living full time in an rv in the US and there's plenty of RV parks in the US that anyone can park their tiny home or caravan there ans live full time if that's what you do there's RV parks that do month to month and you're able to stay as long as you want .. i bern in the same place since 2018 ... all I worry about its having my monthly rent and thats it no worries about anything else thanks god for that ....

I had to move from North East London to Liverpool in order to buy a house. I now pay £280 a month for my mortgage on a 3 bed semi with 100ft garden. Couldn't be happier

Hi really enjoyed this video, very informative and genuine. I've been thinking and dreaming of this kind of life for a while now mainly for like you said the freedom. Unfortunately the wife not fully on board at the moment and we have two kids so makes it a little more challenging but i will keep thinking on it and hopefully one day it will happen. Amazing content though please keep it coming. 👌

Fantastic video. I'm looking forward to seeing your other videos

Well done! We've done some full-time RVing in North America and live in a mobile home in England, and we have a touring caravan here. I love living small! Sometimes a combination of ''homes'' can work - a touring caravan, that's easily towed, a larger caravan that someone else tows for you, and your main residence, this lovely little house. All basically equipped. There are sites where they'll store your unit in their own storage area, and tow it out onto a pitch. Maybe that'd be a way around having to move out now and then, having an alternative short-term unit to go to.

I've subscribed! I'd love to hear more.

You can get baths in tiny houses 😊 I can relate to all the money issues you mentioned. I live in Surrey and have spent an absolute fortune on rent over the years. I believe you have made a wise choice. Plus it’s great to know your home belongs to you even if the land doesn’t . Enjoy your summer

[annaanderson]

Ahh this is fantastic and so grounding. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge

It's all so frustratingly difficult in the UK for people who have limited income and no family to help out with land or property to try and get out of the incredibly expensive rents, and impossible mortgages loop that keeps you poor forever. I've tried using my converted car to park up places to stealth camp, and even that is getting harder and harder as all places are putting up 'no overnight camping' signs. Who is it hurting? Makes me so mad. This whole big money system is so skewed to keep the rich rich and the poor paying most of their income to help keep this greedy minority scoffing at the money trough.

[traceyhill]

I love the fact that you have found an affordable way to enjoy a lovely lifestyle with your family. Good luck and thank you for sharing your story...wonder if we could do this in a ski area? lol

[michaelrobinson]

i have unbelievably endless thoughts and emotions on this. In no particular order although i agree with and admire the financial freedom this way of life gives you it still baffles me how expensive england is.

im 30 living in west yorkshire and ive had my own mortgage since i was 18, its from living in this cheaper part of england which has allowed me to do this, im not shy of saying my mortgage payments are around £300 a month which i know is just not possible to do down south. it sadens me that your paying £600 plus just to park your van on a camp

lets pretend i had land where i could park my tiny house on i would be worried about how long the structure would last for as i would not want to be in a rotting wooden shed when i am at my weakest and most vulnerable when im 70 to 80 years old and with this i worry about the practicality of how id get up and down the stairs of these tiny houses as an old man as they are ladders??

This isnt a dig, im happy for you but looking at the bigger picture long and short term i worry about this way of living and i hope you dont regret it when your of an older age

My wife & I have done a lot of research into getting a tiny (small, rather than Tiny) house but the rules on purchasing land to put it on are proving to be a big hurdle. Our latest thoughts are that we will purchase a conventional house with our daughter & family with enough land to put the tiny house on it as the rules are much easier if done this way.
Therefore we get to retire early with a house that is big enough for the two of us, cheap to run & warm AND be near to our family.

Now actively looking for something suitable & looking forward to retirement after over 40 years of hard slog.

thank you so much for sharing your experience on tiny houses on campsites! I am from Barcelona, Spain and I'm thinking about leaving my lovely city and moving to the countryside but in order to work I must have a really good connection to Internet and this is something I need to make sure it works. Watching your video gives me hope my dream may come true :)

Hi, thanks for your very kind advice. I believe the UK is deliberately making it extremely difficult for people to live in tiny houses as it would be extremely inconvenient for the UK property market. Therefore, I believe the UK will never support the Tiny House type of a living, unfortunately, as they are using people for the property market to bloom. It is a horrible system. I called different caravan sites and I can't find any which will allow me to stay long term as all of them are deliberately made to be only maximum for 11 months, I live in Dorset. Would you be able to advise me please? Thank you very much in advance.

[vishy]

Great channel and you seem like really cool guys ... enjoying the channel

[jacm]

Loving your channel… I have been following the tiny house dream for years and wish it would catch on like it has in America …it would save so much homelessness. We are seriously looking into it and I wouldn’t have any reservations of walking away from my home and possessions to follow our dream.

[tartanrosemusic]

Thank you so much!! You are keeping our dream alive! Thank you thank you thank you! We are desperate to get out for the London rat race but still need good access there for work as creatives. Are you in a county near to London or much further afield? Many thanks 🙏🏽 Ruth and Jonny x
